Adherent to COVID-19 regulations

We had a wonderful stay at 138 Marine. The staff were friendly, helpful and extremely adherent to COVID-19 regulations. We felt comfortable, safe and very relaxed throughout our stay. Desré advised us on different spots to visit in the area and was very knowledgeable on the different walks we could do, which were very enjoyable. Breakfast was delicious and our room was clean, bright and had special touches.

Absolutely deeeelish!!

Leane Ungerer-Fourie

What a lovely find! We absolutely loved our 4-night stay. I loved the home-away-from-home feel and all the special touches. The breakfast was absolutely deeeelish!!! We’ll go back just for the breakfasts! We loved waking up and falling asleep to the sound of the crashing waves. Early morning walks on the coastal path and sundowners on the deck were such a special treat. We will definitely be back!

Stunning views

M4KU 

Had the loveliest stay at 138 Marine in Sandbaai! Stunning views RIGHT ON the ocean, with arguably the best sunset view in Hermanus from the balcony. Jena & Louis were gracious hosts, making us totally feel at home. The room was spacious & very tidy, breakfast is good – the place has it all for a nice little break-away. Can definitely recommend it, and will surely be back!

Above & Beyond

Cheryl 

One of my absolute favourite guesthouses – we celebrated our anniversary and Desré, Belinda and the team went above and beyond. Comfortable room to sleep in, the breakfasts were our best meals of the day and wonderful to be able to sit in the lounge, admiring the sea view, with access to a fridge, where one can store one’s own drinks for a sun-downer. We will be returning again!

“Out of this world” breakfasts!!

Tracy 

My husband and I spent a VERY relaxing four days at this beautiful guesthouse. The Oyster room was pure luxury with its magnificent sea views and classic comfort. Thank you to all the staff for their warm hospitality and helpfulness. And let’s not forget to mention the “out of this world” breakfasts!! A delicious spread awaited us each morning which fuelled us as we hit the nearby Hemel and Aarde mountain bike trails. We hope to be back soon.

“God’s creation”.

WOW!! The most magnificent place to stay at. The rooms are neat and clean…so beautiful. We were warmly welcomed, which made our stay so peaceful and relaxing. The scenery is out of this world “Gods creation”. We were served with the most divine breakfast!! Blessings to the team!

Breathe Vitamin Sea

Nicky and Mark Thank you to Jena and the team at 138 Marine. You absolutely never seem to disappoint. Hard days, special occasions, or just needing to breathe vitamin sea…138 Marine is the perfect place to be. Comfort meets style and elegance…

The clean yet comfortable “home away from” home feeling is priceless. It is any ocean lover’s dream. Waking up to the smell of scrumptious breakfast is amazing and one feels spoilt as soon as you walk in the front door. 

See you soon! And thank you once again

We really felt at home from the start. The breakfasts were amazing. The room and house were absolutely beautifully decorated. The uninterrupted views of the ocean and mountains from the lounge and room are breathtaking. Watching the sunset from our balcony was a treat. The team really went the extra mile for us and it really made our stay that much more lovely. We will definitely visit again.

From the start of our stay, until the end, the words personal touch was written all over the experience here in 138 Marine Guesthouse.  We were spoiled and treated like royalty from the beginning.  Not to mention the amazing view from our room.  A view we will never forget.  The entire setting of the venue looks out over the ocean, no matter where you are in the house.  Recommend to everyone who wants to silence their souls into the beauty of Sandbaai, whilst enjoying their stay!
